Illegal border crossings dip to lowest level in over 2 years

Your graph ends in 2022. The OP article specifically states June 2023.

As usual, you can’t find it in yourself to give Biden any credit for accomplishing what you want.

Well, explain what he did to magically change the dynamic at the border and Ill consider giving him credit.

They do not just get to enter...they show up at a port of entry to apply for asylum...if they pass the credible fear hearing AND have a legit sponsor in the US that is related to them...then they can be given an I 94...if not, no, they aren't allowed to enter...and are not counted as an entry.

To cross the border without the lawful paperwork, is an illegal crossing.
Regardless as to whether the person subsequently claims asylum.
As explained, what the app does is let the person apply, then when the person crosses, it;s not counted as an illegal entry.
 
thanking Joe for 2 horrible years of invasion of millions of illegals

unbelievable

the crossing becomes a legal crossing once an I 94 is issued...you realize that right?

Explain how controlling your border instead of having it a haven for gangs and abusers is "xenophobia". Seems like you don't know how to use that word.

Hating immigrants pretty much qualifies, if not all but defines, xenophobia.

In fact, I'd say that merely proclaiming that undocumented migration is some sort of dire problem that is an existential threat to white people Americans is also pretty damned xenophobic.

Seriously, dude. Undocumented immigrants haven't caused a single recession; they didn't cause the pandemic; they haven't stopped unemployment from falling to historic lows; they didn't cause the housing affordability crisis; they aren't causing mass shootings; they aren't causing companies to automate jobs and lay off workers; not only are they not increasing crime rates, but it's a fact that the undocumented migrant population grew at the same time that crime rates fell.

I.e. there isn't a single actual problem the US has faced in the past, oh, 50 years or so that can intelligibly be blamed on undocumented migrants or migration. Why is this allegedly some massive problem again? :rolleyes:

So it is smart to let that increase and kill more and more people. That's just evil.

Or, you're just completely full of conspiracy bullshit. :rolleyes:

Anthony60 said:
You realize that they are they ones that caused the huge increase in the first place, or don't you?

No, they aren't. Nor have you in any way, shape or form proven that's what happened. That's because, again... US policies don't cause migration. For example, Bush 43 was relatively open to migration -- and yet, during his term in office, the numbers of undocumented immigrants in the US fell. Obama was also open to immigration, and the number of border apprehensions fell to levels not seen since the 1970s. Trump was openly hostile to both legal and undocumented migrants, yet southwestern border apprehensions increased during his term. 2019 saw more apprehensions than in the previous decade.

And yet again... Biden hasn't passed any immigration legislation, and the courts blocked many of his migration policies. To wit:

• Trump didn't build anything remotely resembling an effective border wall, so no change there.
• Trump wasn't able to get rid of DACA, so no change there.
• Ending the anti-Muslim travel ban obviously didn't affect undocumented border crossings.
• His attempt to temporarily stop deportations was blocked almost immediately by the courts.
• His restricting ICE from deporting people based on mostly non-violent offenses didn't cause more people to try to cross the border.
• When Title 42 was active, immigration agents were empowered to turn away tons of migrants; the courts blocked Biden's attempts to end it. However, it was in place until May. It's now over, which means a more lax policy is now in place and... the number of border crossers has fallen.

So. How the **** did Biden "cause an increase" when there were almost no actual policy changes? Why did a policy change that made it easier to get into the US result in fewer border crossings? :rolleyes:

The reality is that people are migrating because of issues in their nation of origin. Yeesh.

Anthony60 said:
That's as dumb as praising Biden for high inflation because it's not at his highest level. Shitty job, either way. Wise up.

lololol

And yet more bullshit. Biden didn't cause inflation, and it was the Fed that reduced inflation.

And don't even pretend for a moment that if a Republican were in office, you'd be screaming about how awful it is that they tamed inflation and reduced border crossings. :LOL:
 
Clearly Dark Brandon is employing Deep State weather control to keep the border states scorching hot in order to make himself look good on illegal immigration for the upcoming election.

DAMN YOU DARK BRANDON

Because the numbers at designated crossing points have more than doubled. The Jun number was an all time high. The illegals no longer have to sneak across because Biden set up a process for them to come across at checkpoints. They are still illegal immigrants and they are not showing up for their status hearings.

Another guy who proves a wall doesn’t work.

Weird how that keeps happening.
 
Mycroft said:
There's a reason why this is happening.

The Biden pukes rolled out an app that allows anyone who wants to enter the US to enter their info and then go to a border checkpoint and enter. In effect, the Biden pukes magically turned all those "illegal" aliens into "legal" aliens.

The fact is, there are still hundreds of thousands being let into the country and when then get in, they are sent all over the country and the Biden pukes promptly loses contact with them.

Hell, they might as well have just made the border wide open.

Stop lying that is not happening.
 
Mycroft said:
What the app does is remove the necessity of them walking across the border before they ask for asylum. In effect, it makes what would normally be illegal aliens into legal aliens. And the result is still the same...they are given a court date and released into the country.

And THAT'S why the number of "illegal aliens" is at its lowest levels. It's not because less people are coming into the US.

Yep, that's exactly right. Just the new app gimmick.
 
Thank climate change for making the desert impassable for 3 months of the year.

Once fall hits and it cools down, the illegals will swarm the border again.

Illegal border crossings dip to lowest level in over 2 years

The Biden administration touted the drop a day before a federal judge is set to hear a challenge to its asylum ban.

Illegal border crossings plunged in June to their lowest level since President Joe Biden’s first full month in office.


Thanks, Joe!

What you have to remember is that the ONLY reason why illegals are down is because they know that Mr. Trump is going to be elected President in 2024 and that he will round up every single illegal resident and ship them back to where they came from within 100 days of taking office. 🇺🇸 :geek:🇺🇸

Biden's broken border remains and it just may be the very issue that brings him down.

U.S. has welcomed more than 500,000 migrants as part of historic expansion of legal immigration under Biden​

BY CAMILO MONTOYA-GALVEZ

The Biden administration has welcomed over half a million migrants under programs designed to reduce illegal border entries or offer a safe haven to refugees, using a 1950s law to launch the largest expansion of legal immigration in modern U.S. history, unpublished government data obtained by CBS News show.

In less than two years, the administration has allowed at least 541,000 migrants to enter the U.S. through the immigration parole authority, which gives federal officials the power to authorize the entry of foreigners who lack visas, according to internal government statistics, court records and public reports.

The unprecedented use of the parole authority has allowed officials to divert migration away from the southern border by offering would-be migrants a legal and safe alternative to journeying to the U.S. with the help of smugglers and entering the country unlawfully. It has also given the administration a faster way to resettle refugees as it attempts to rebuild a resettlement system gutted by drastic Trump-era cuts.

Lower immigration rates are certainly going to improve his numbers with some voters...

But racists will vote for anyone.

Thanks for this story.

Fantastic news.

Immigration is the bedrock of this nation, and 250k immigrants per year will help grow the economy and keep the country prosperous for the coming decades.
I mean, 250K immigrants per year is only 0.07% growth, and the US population has only increased by about 1.25MM in 2022, so we really should be increasing the numbers by double or triple.

Oh wait. You think this is a bad thing.
